Includes implantable infusion pumps for chronic non-cancer pain management as standard coverage for medical assistance

This bill requires the state medical assistance program to cover implantable infusion pumps for chronic non-cancer pain management as a standard benefit. It directly affects individuals enrolled in the medical assistance program who rely on these devices for long-term pain treatment not related to cancer. The key provision amends social services law to explicitly include implantable infusion pumps in the list of covered services. The change would take effect on July 1, 2025.
